Mesoporous TiO2 Films Fabricated Using Atmospheric Pressure Dielectric Barrier Discharge Jet

摘要

TO2 nanopanicles were synthesized by a facile method of dielectric barrier discharge jet (DBD jet) for the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and other potential applications. DBD jet is utilized as a method for deposition of TiO2 nanopanicles with a 9 μm/ min growth rate which is more than x25 faster than reported previously. Their performance was compared with cells fabricated using commercial TiO:! nanopanicles (P25). The crystallinity and chemical bonding states of samples were characterized by XRD and XPS. Photoanodes fabricated by the DBD jet method resulted in approximately 50% higher photoconversion efficiency than ones prepared from P25 nanoparticles.
